Ninth Annual Report
OF THE
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
For the Year Ended December 31
1929
154
To the Citizens of Reading :
The Board of Public Works organized in March, 1930, with Sam- uel H. Davis as Chairman and Wm. T. Fairclough as Secretary.
On April 11, 1930, Mr. Davis resigned to accept the appointment as Town Counsel and Mr. Martin B. Hartshorn was elected to the chairmanship of the Board of Public Works.
The policy of eliminating contract work was adopted by the board, as far as possible. This action saved the contractor's profit and also the fees of consulting and designing engineers, and kept the money in the town by hiring local labor and buying material from local mer- chants.
A new standpipe of 1,000,000 gal. capacity was erected and the investigation for additional water supply carried out very thoroughly.
The detailed report of the work as carried on through the year is appended, and it is the intention of the Board to continue the major improvements as they have been started.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the Board of Public Works :
Gentlemen :
As required by Section 4, Chapter 118, of an Act authorizing the Town of Reading to establish a Board of Public Works, I respect- fully submit for your consideration the tenth annual report of the De- partment of Public Works (Water, Highway, Sewer and Park) in- cluding a financial report of each department, and a chronicle of the principal work performed with recommendations for the coming year.
At the beginning of 1930 it was decided, by the Board of Public Works, that the work would not be let out to contractors and we have therefore carried out the program of construction, in all depart- ments, to a very good advantage, with our own forces. In this manner we saved at least the contractor's profit, and considerably more work was done with the appropriation. One of the direct benefits of doing the work ourselves was the fact that the appropriations were spent in
155
the town and from 50 to 60 extra employees were kept at work during an exceptionally dull season.
The men in charge of the work in the different departments have accepted their numerous additional duties with admirable en- thusiasm and have accomplished most satisfactory results in every case.
WILLIAM J. LUMBERT, Superintendent.
